ThinkOrSwim desktop trading tool

Here is the charts tab. Here I have an intraday 1 min with timeNsales and  a 3 month daily chart. Watchlist is to the left. You can just drag one of these stocks to the chart and it loads up. Also like using alerts (shown on the right chart). You can pick a spot on the chart to set an alert. I have it set to ring a bell when the alert activates.

Also gives the ability to display up to 28 charts at once. Watchlist on the left shows a personal watchlist I created on the next picture.

This tab lets you create custom scans, which can be placed in a watchlist and update realtime during the day.

Another feature I like is the earnings page. Shows estimate/actual earnings.  Can click on press release link. Can right click and throw a stock into a chart to see how stock is trading after/before market due to earnings.
There is also a dividends page, just like this. Very nice.

FYI: The gain/loss percentages won't be exact, because the cost basis values are slightly different.
